Court Proceedings.
Confined from last weekly

Confined from last week.
The time of the Court was consum-
ed on Wednesday in hearing the case
which grew out of the free fight at
the Democratic primary held at North
East last June. State VS.. Edward
McQuirk, Harry West and Theodore
jackson; indicted for assault on John
I. Cooper. McQuirk and West
guilty; Jackson not guilty. McQuirk
fined S., West fined 81 and costs and
sentenced to ten days in Jail.
The next case was that of James
Vance, an old offender, who is charg-
ed with violating the Prohibatory
Law, at Chesapeake City. Young
Barwick who keeps store in Chesa
peake City had been allowed tie
privilege in former years of going
into Vance's shop end taking a drink
when he choose, and had continued
the practice. The prosecuting attor-
ney considered that the State had no
case and it was submitted without
argument. The jury, however, look.
ed at things in a different light and
brought in a verdict of guilty.
The next case of Importance was
that of Harry Confer who was tried
at the September term of Court fol
violating the Prohibition law, and
escaped by hung jury. He was &C
Quilted at the last trial but two other
indictments were against him. He
has been prisoner in Jail for three
months.
The next case was on the civil
docket, Geo. W Lodge & Son VS.
Jno. S. Gillespie. The suit was fol-
$379.9 for goods bought by defend
ant when engaged in store keeping al

The York &c Peach Bottom Slate
Co.

This famous slate company has re.
Gently declared dividend of 4 per
cent on the earnings for the last sev-
en- months. In noticing the COM
pany's condition the York Dispatch
says: "This company produces the
best roofing slate in the world, and
have now employed about forty men
in their quarry. The slate of this
company covers many of the public
buildings in Washington. 1t is used
almost exclusively by the railroads
of our county. The company is re.
ceiving more orders daily. 1t hopes
to increase the business still more
the coming year. Much Of the sue
cess of the past and the promise of a
bright future is due to the energetic
president of the company, Mr.. E. NJ.
Vandersloot'
Mr.. Vandersloot sells large quanti-
ties of roofing slate to our dealers in
and about Rising Sun and other parts
of Cecil Comfy, and frequently visits
our town in the line of his business.

Will the Convention Put it in the
Platform?

There was recently q large assem-
bling of Republican Clubs in New
York. Twenty two States were rep
resented.
In his welcoming speech Mr.. Jas.
P. Foster, president of the New York
Club said,
"We propose an organization that
shall say to the saloon: Be ye re.
moved from politics. applause =
you who create paupers and insanity
and criminals shall no longer WELD
the power of government in this land;
we demand government by reputa
BILE and upright men for honest and
reputable purposes"
Mr.. Foster is authorized to speak
for himself; possibly for his club
but he has no authority to speak fol-
the national party Will the Nation.
al Convention to assemble at Chica-
go next June put such declaration
in its platform? We trow not. Fol-
the leaders know that on that day
every distiller, brewer, beer guzzler
wholesale dealer, together with all
the whiskey small fry would go bag
and baggage to the Democratic party
and with their ocean of money would
leave no stone unturned to beat the
Republican nominee. Temperance
democrats would generally stick to
their party feeling sure it would win
1t is DOT human to leave the winning
side on the eve of success. Mr.
Blaine would not accepta nomination
with such plank in the platform.
When questioned on this point be-
fore the last presidential election his
reply was, the Republican party was
a prohibition party in Maine, but it
was not national prohibition party.
No, friends, such plank as Mr.. Eos
ter held up before the clubs will new
er be placed in either the National
Republican or Democratic Platform
You may rest assured of that. Meth
er is willing to accept defeat with
lamb like resignation with the hope
of future success. Politicians do not
make those heroic sacrifices.

The Paper For The Million Still At
The Front.

The Western Rural and american
Stochman of Chicago is one of the
most progressive and thoroughly
practical farm journals of this country
1t is also the largest as well as the
best of its class and is always at the
front on the leading questions which
affec' the interests of the iarmer and
stock raiser.
The Western Rural isthe parent
of the Farmers Alliance Movement
which is growing strong in all the
Western States. The organization
has done much to break up combina-
tons which seriously cripple the in
terests of agriculture and has set in
motion influences which must crys-
talize into legislation to put in check
the greed of corporate capital. The
price of the Rural, 81 SO per year. is
marvelously low for so large jour

The Public Road Question.

A general meeting, composed of
committees from the Deer Creek,
Fallston and Wilma Farmers Club,
was held in Bel Air last week, to
consider the best manner of improv-
ing the county roads, and securing
proper legislation therefore. The re-
port Of the committee on public roads
of the Deer Creek club was adopted
as the sense of the meeting. The re-
port is as follows:
The committee on Public Roads re.
spectfully report:
That they have carefully consider
ed the matter entrusted to them, and
do not think it advisable to make
any changes in our road system that
would deprive competent farmers of
the opportunity of repairing sections
of roads, adjacent to their farms, or
that would lead to the importation of
labor from other counties to work up
on our roads.
Your committee considering the
great Importance of good roads to
the prosperity of our county, are of
the opinion that the supervision of
the construction and repair of roads
and bridges should be entrusted to a
commission of three competent and
|judicious citizens, who will serve at
a nominal salary, who shall distri-
butte the road warrants, appoint a
road engineer to lay out new roads
and direct the repairs of existing
roads by those to whom warrants
haye been given, and in general to
have the disbursement of all the
road and bridge money appropriated
by the county commissioners. The
said road engineer to devote his en-.
tire time to the duties of his office
under the direction of said road com.
missloners, and that the latter shall
have power to continue him during
good behaviour, or to discharge him
at any time for sufficient cause. AL
so, that the said road engineer shall
act as Secretary to the Road Com
mission without extra charge. And
that the said Road Commission be
first elected at the Congressional cleo
ton, in 1888, and to serve one year.
At the general election in 1889 anotll.
er election to be held for Road Com
missioners, who shall, after their
election, hold office respectively for
two, four and six y ears, SO that one
member of the board shall, after the
said general election. be elected at
each succeeding general election, for
a term of six years.
Upon motion a committee was ap-
pointed to draft law to be reported
to an adjourned meeting of the gen.
eral committee to be held in Bel Air
on Dec. 10TH
In our opinion, if the above plan
is formulated into law Hartford
will find there is too much machin-
cry about it. ED

A Return to Fractional Currency

The United States Postal Improve
ment Association is the name of an
organization that has been formed to
promote the reissue of fractional
currency, and ais to secure reduct-
ION in the postage on seeds and
,lants. Every planter now has to
,ay tax of Ice. per pound on seeds,
oulbs and cions. as that is the post
nge on this class of mail matter. 1t
is desired to have seeds and plants
classed as third.class mail matter,
and subject to a rate of postage of
one cent for each two ounces or eight
cents per pound. the rate in Can
ada is only four cents per pound.
Amy plan that will facilitate the dis.
semination of plants and seeds for
the universal good of the nation, will
be supported by nine tenths of our
population. Incidentally it is de,
sired to abolish the present postal
note system and substitute therefor
money orders for SIS or less at a
charge of three cents. The value
and Importance of this great facility
to the mail business of the country
will be generally recognized.
The national grange when in sess
ion at Lansing, Mich, unanimously
voted to help this work for postal i'm
provement in every possible and
legitimate way. Success is certain
if every one in favor of these ideas
will take hold in earnest
There is continually an increasing
evidence that the people desire the
reissue Of fractional curreacy. At
present large majority of our citi-
Zens are hindered in making remit
tances in sums less than 81, very
much to their discomfort and dissat,
isfaction. Either postage stamps or
postal notes must be used. In
most cases, distance from the nearest
money order postoffice renders it diff
ficult to secure the postal note, while
postsge stamps are not intended as a
circulating medium, and are not ne
gotiable. Moreover postal notes,
being issued at only about IA per
cent of the postoffices in the country
are difficult to obtain. They are no
safer than fractional currency bill
while those who have experienced
the delay necessary in our large
towns and cities to secure one OF
these notes, as we'll as to collect the
payment on it, will be in sympathy
with the present movement to secure
from Congress an early re-issus OF
fractional currency.
All who are interested in this mat
ter are requested to apply to the sec.
rotary of the association, Herbert
Myrick of Springfield, Mass.
We shall be pleased to have you
readers discuss this matter freely in
our columns.

Honesty Among Georgia Crackers.

am going to tell story which illus.
trates the refreshing honesty of the sim.
ple-minded piney woods crackers.
A certain girl, who was unconscious
of the dividing line between the lawful
and the unlawful became an accessory
to murder.
There was great deal of sympathy
for her, and one night the jailer left the
door open so she could get away. She
escaped, and her relatives, as simple az
herself, built for her in the depths Of
forest, house of brush. There the girl
spent her days and nights. At last her
hiding place was reported to the sheriff
and it became his duty to rearrest her.
He went to the home of the relatives
who concealed her and called out the old
man. The sheriff explained his business
and asked if the girl was really in the
neighborhood. The honest old cracker
replied:
''Cap'n, she airl She's rat over in them
air woods"
1t would have suited the sheriff better
if the old man had lied a little bit.
Are you sure she is over thereT" he
asked
She wuz thar bit ago"
Now, tell you what you do" said
the sheriff. still hopeful that the girl
might get away. you go over there
and see if she is there and come back
and tell me-"
"Ill do it, said the old man.
He was gone short time and on his
return said:
''Cap'n, she's thar
So the sheriff had no alternative but
to go to the hiding place of the girl and
make the arrest. To-day that simple
cracker girl is in the Georgia chain-gang.
